Lakefront Bliss: Spacious Home on Lake Ann perfect for Large Family 25 min to TC

Lakefront Bliss: Spacious Home on Lake Ann perfect for Large Family 25 min to TC

10/10 Excellent
"The property was ideal for our large family get together. There was plenty of space for everyone. The older kids in our group really enjoyed the apartment above the garage. They had their own space but we’re still with an ear shot. It was a little bit chilly when we were there so we did not use the water much, but it was shallow and Sandy. It would be perfect for smaller kids. The kitchen was well stocked and open. Overall, the property was very functional for a large family gathering. When we did leave, the drives were short and easy to entertainment or restaurants, but there was enough at the property that we hardly needed to go anywhere."
